Mansfield Timberview High School student Logan Valdez served as Arlington’s honorary Mayor for a Day on Oct. 23, 2026.
Valdez spent the day learning how city government operates. His schedule included touring City Hall, participating in a mock City Council meeting and seeing firsthand how residents can help shape Arlington’s future.
He is ranked in the top 5% of his graduating class, serves as Class President, founded his own business and interns at a local medical office.
As part of Arlington’s 150th anniversary celebration, eight students from Arlington and Mansfield Independent School Districts will be selected throughout the remainder of 2026 to participate in the Mayor for a Day experience. The program is designed to help students understand local civic engagement and the impact they can have on their community.
